Thierry:
Good afternoon! Absolutely gorgeous, this Anton Batagov. Do you know the rest of his discography well? Is it just as good?

♥

Liz B.:
Hi everyone and welcome! Thierry, this is my first encounter with Anton Batagov, but someone wrote "Russia's Terry Riley" on the CD, so that sounds like a nice endorsement to me.

Mon. 7/16/12 9:14am
Thierry:
Great find, Liz!

Mon. 7/16/12 9:16am
Cheri Pi:
I agree Liz- it was haunting and loopy, the Buddhist references were perfect too as I just rediscovered my Buddha box over the weekend.

joe supernaut:
Love that Batagov ever since I heard you play it a couple weeks ago. Nice!

this is awesome...who is this mysterious "h." artist?

Mon. 7/16/12 9:38am
dave of geese:
i've been really enjoying the buddhas too, since hearing it on wfmu.i got it off soulseek-- i cant seem to find the actual artifact for sale anywhere though-seems like the kind of thing i'd like a "proper" copy of- anyone seen it?

Mon. 7/16/12 9:59am
Cecile:
ha, Liz, a friend and I were just talking about Buddha boxes this weekend. I got the iPod app, but it needs some more options like pitch and speed controls. Oh, and me not having crappy headphones.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:01am
Cecile:
dave of geese, if you want an actual box,email Liz. I give her my OK to give you my email address. I'd be happy to set mine free.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:02am
Cheri Pi:
We have a local guy in Cincinnati (Rheed Ghazala) who invented circuit bending, he gave a radio interview last night and was talking about different ways to manipulate the Buddha box-mine is the Throbbing Gristle edition so it sounds pretty good w/o too much interference. but why not push it?

Mon. 7/16/12 10:03am
Cheri Pi:
*Reed*

Mon. 7/16/12 10:04am
dave of geese:
ah thanks Cecile-- so you have an actual copy of the cd?

Mon. 7/16/12 10:06am
dave of geese:
i could send you a 3eese cd if you'd like?

northguineahills:
I just have the original FM3 Buddha box. It makes for good dj fodder....

Mon. 7/16/12 10:13am
Cecile:
I am trying to slough off my things that are redundant, not used and are wanted by others. So the Buddha box can go if someone really wants it.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:20am
Cecile:
it's so funny to hear the rock music of my young years described as "jams". That usually was reserved for the funk-floorfillers of the day, when we would do the bus stop with onions attached to our belts, which was the fashion of the time.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:23am
Thierry:
I am learning about this Buddha box here (where was I all these years?). Has it been a big craze?

Mon. 7/16/12 10:24am
Cecile:
For about 3-4 years, I think. I first heard about it when they were giving them away as fundraiser premiums here on 'FMU.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:25am
northguineahills:
No Joy is joyful, has a nice 90s shoegaze appeal to it.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:26am
Cheri Pi:
I don't know if it was a craze but it definitely is a fun novelty item to play with- they were for sale at some of the good U.S. record stores a few years ago

Mon. 7/16/12 10:27am
Cecile:
this "rejected" is great. Are they from Ohio? It sounds like it.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:30am
DCE:
it's more like an "ohio stink" that gets on ya. anyway, I've not heard of them before, Cecile.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:31am
Cecile:
You know it's a very Midwestern tragedy to not want to eat sausages.

Mon. 7/16/12 10:59am
Cecile:
I think it means if you can...
someone might want to confirm.

Cheri Pi:
yesterday I had a pint of Flying Horse for breakfast with some cocktail samosas-I had to shop at the Indian carryout due to laziness.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:01am
Cecile:
I had gorgeous beers on Saturday - a Fulton summer pilsner and a new beer Steeltoe Provider - a unfiltered ale that was a cross between a belgian beer and a lager. Good stuff. And both breweries are within 10 miles of my house.

northguineahills:
Hanging out w/ you guys are turning me into a tasteful alcoholic (like I wasn't anyways).

Stereolab broke up after Tim and Laetitia broke up :(

Mon. 7/16/12 11:06am
Cecile:
It was really good. We drank it with happy hour poutine and this wonderful nacho-like dish called "deli debris" at Rye Deli in Mpls. It's a perfect resto - a Jewish deli with a deep fryer and a full bar.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:07am
Cecile:
They also make canadian faves like smoked meat and poutine.

Re: Scott and Charlene - I found out that it's a Melbourne guy who moved to Brooklyn. Victoria is a suburb of Melbourne.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:07am
Cecile:
No kidding! I love Clare!

Mon. 7/16/12 11:09am
Cecile:
hahahah
I think people who study traditional foodways should be called forklorists.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:09am
Chris from DC:
Rodenbach. That's the Belgian I was thinking of. Great stuff.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:11am
Cecile:
It was so hot this weekend that I drank four beers over the course of 8 hours on Saturday, and I was wiped out the next day. bummer...

Mon. 7/16/12 11:17am
Mike East:
I didn't drink nearly enough beer this weekend. Maybe 3 on Friday, 2 on Saturday...pitiful. Working the weekend really takes away from my enjoyment of life. But on the bright side, I'll have more money to buy better beers.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:24am
DCE:
danceworthy!

Mon. 7/16/12 11:24am
BSI:
...whereas I'm wondering if a few early-afternoon ales would help with the flowery prose of resume cover-letters over here...? Hm..... a strategy hatcheth!

Mon. 7/16/12 11:27am
joe:
'ello folks
Liz I love the selections of Latin music over the last couple of weeks.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:41am
BSI:
@cecile: i'm not a web guy but did a down-&-dirty free thing. http://tinyurl.com/7jw4rnh -- figure i'll try for more magazine stuff and/or music freelance, what the hell. It ain't very elegant but it's something.

Mon. 7/16/12 11:50am
BSI:
thanks folks. Got a couple of other cd covers for The Muffins that need to join the pile. My problem is I end up doing those for friends, gratis, since I love the music. Helps the portfolio but it don't buy daddy no beer!
